This bull is the progeny of Kayan (Aberdeen-Angus clean polled 

 bull) mated with Dot Alaska (Ayrshire). Note the heavy solidly at- 

 tached horns grown while only a year and four months old. The Aber- 

 deen-Angus blood is plainly seen in the heavy beefy conformation of 

 this bull. The other horned animal had horn's even longer than these at 

 this age.
